“I am tired. These people make me feel I have a hole in the middle of me.”

i’ve become a person who is able to fall asleep in her own skin without first having to remove it. i’ve survived the process.

Something is always burning inside of you; it is not terrible to burn.

You were unsure which pain is worse: the shock of what happened or the ache for what never will.

But how do you find the right people-how do you love without smothering them? How do you not suffocate them with all the love you’ve built up in their absence?

For those who are lost, there will always be cities that feel like home.

To love again, you must not discard what has happened to you. Take from it the strength you’ll need to carry on.

Too many beautiful moments unnoticed, too many sad moments prolonged.
